RFE CAN'T SAY NO

The Rotary Club of Fort Erie has been donating to and/or helping other charities when it comes to food.  Donations have been made to Meals on Wheels for many years and and even one member and his spouse has been helping deliver meals. Rotarians have been helping "ring the bell" for the Salvation Army Kettle Fundraiser.  RFE also donates to Sally Ann.
 
The club has just started helping 'Links for Greener Learning'.  This charity promotes environmentally friendly and sustainable programs.  One such program is community gardens and another is Food Boxes.
RFE is now involved in packing over 170 food boxes in Welland and then shipping them into Fort Erie.  Controversy over Rotary providing volunteers may have inadvertently caused a person a part time job.
 
As well, a charity receiving 151 boxes will be asked nicely to perhaps provide help moving boxes from truck to gymnasium.  We hope to resolve these issues.
